The Starlink internet constellation is being tested.
People in rural areas and other underserved communities can access high-speed internet with the help of Starlink. McMurdo Station, a research outpost run by the USAP, is one of the most remote places on the planet.
Scientists supported by the USAP are over the moon. Starlink is testing polar service with a newly deployed user terminal at McMurdo Station.

The milestone was also celebrated by the company. "Starlink is now on every single planet!" This capability is enabled by Starlink's space laser network in a remote location.
More than 3000 Starlink satellites have been launched by the company. If all goes according to plan, the constellation will grow to even more enormous proportions, with the company applying for permission from an international regulatory body to launch 30,000 more satellites.
The Starlink Version 2 satellites will be larger and more capable than the current version. The next-gen spaceships will be able to beam service to phones.
Late last month, Musk announced that his company and T-Mobile had signed a deal to provide such service.
Starlink is important to the long-term goals of the company. Revenues from the broadband constellation are helping to fund the giant rocket-spaceship combo that Musk's company is developing to take people and cargo to the moon and Mars. The Starlink Version 2 satellites will be launched by the company.
